Capitalism II

Republic, the Revolution

Overthrow the communist state, I wrote about it on my oracle blog, in an article called Political Games; it is now lost.

Civilisation

The grand-daddy of them all, rule the world!

Ceasar III

Town Planning, Roman Empire style

Little Big Adventure

A somewhat surreal platformer, third person adventure game set in a low magical world. This is now quite old, but I still have the LBA2 disk and have installed it using dosbox, which I wrote up on my blog.

Uru

This is part of the Myst series, I re-installed it on the Dell, and it is not very stable. I have copied it across to the Alienware, which has a different video and sound sub system. Here’s hoping it’ll be better.

This was odd, why was it so unstable, it was a late issued game for the XP platform. See also URU: Ages of Myst here.

Nikopol : Secrets of the Immortals

On their site, Lighthouse say

“It is the year 2023 in Paris. As our hero Nikopol, you receive shocking news that your father may be alive. At the same time an eerie pyramid appears floating above the city and is said to be inhabited by Egyptian gods. You are caught between two worlds, one of anarchy and one of immortality”.

On Amazon, they say,

“After a 30-year hibernation in space, you, Alcide Nikopol, return to an authoritarian and decadent Earth. Your father is under the sway of the cold-blooded and ambitious god Horus that he is trying to install as overlord of Paris. Your mission is to find your father and prevent Horus from carrying out his plans. Immerse yourself in this fascinating and elaborate universe inspired by Enki Bilal’s cult comic book “The Carnival of Immortals.”.

I found this review, hosted at http://www.gamerankings.com/, but published by http://www.jolt.co.uk/ which seems to agree with what I said in my New Year’s Day blog article, highly immersive, strong story but you’ll be brought up short from time to time, by the incongruousness and pernichtyness of some of the puzzles.
